What did you use to attach it, self tappers?
Nope I actually used the four bolts on the crossmember bracket. I I just took them out and placed the plate in and bolted it right in. The brackets are mounted at the sides to the frame aswell so you do t have to worry about them falling off. It's really easy to do. I can take some more pics to show you how to install it tomorrow if you would like.

That is awesome dukie

Put new axle seals and bearings in the rear end to find that it is still howling when I give it gas. Didnt want to do it but the rear pinion bearing is going to need to be replaced.

I actually just kind of improvised lol. I over-lapped the center circle with masking tape and once it was all covered I took a blade and cut in the grove and removed the excess tape. Turned out perfect for every one I did !

These came in the mail (well UPS dropped them off on my doorstep)



And I picked up five of these... 15x10, and yes they are chrome.

They will have 31's mounted on them.. flame on.


And I tried to contact rough country, after reviewing my UPS ship notice, I noticed that my street address was incorrect.

Washed the dog vom from my back mat, swapped in a fresh radiator, remounted the dang trans cooler that took out my original rad, and did the standard 525000 km oil and filter change. The dog watched but didn't help.
